ISSUE 04 - FALL 2018

Dear Readers,

We began Parentheses Journal in 2016 with tremendous faith in art as a site for restorative peace in the world. We trust the journey and labor of small things, and thank all our readers for joining us in our quest. We are ecstatic to have received many submissions from across the globe. We are honored by the faith you place in us and our diverse community of contributors. Thank you for keeping us busy and occupied with the multitude of submissions for Issue Four. These works by our contributors resist, celebrate and, sing.

We have a few announcements to share— Issue Four welcomes the incorporation of an interview feature of a poet compiled by our poetry editor Sneha Subramanian Kanta. We hope you enjoy these insightful conversations with the poets we love, as much as we take delight in bringing these to you. We are also thrilled to announce that we would be shifting to a tri-annual publication from Issue Five onward. There will now be summer, fall and winter editions of the journal. We hope to have your support in this endeavor. Finally, we welcome your comments, suggestions and letters as always.

We truly hope you enjoy the work of our lovely contributors in Issue Four.
